How Barter Can Find You New Business

Every business is going to have a need for heating, cooling, or electrical at some point. Barter is a great way to cover those expenses that, inevitably, come up. That’s what Chuck Winkler of Ditter Heating, Cooling, and Electrical saw when he heard me, The Barter Guy, speak about the IMS Barter exchange. This week’s blog showcases Ditter Heating, Cooling, and Electrical, who over the past year have utilized barter as an important tool to grow their business.

The most recent experience Chuck and his team of technicians had with barter was in a bar. I was talking with the owner of a bar in Minneapolis, and he happened to mention their air conditioning wasn’t working. This was during the summer, an unacceptable time for a business to lose their cool when their focus is on a good customer experience. I put him in touch with Chuck and, since they were both members, they agreed to do the job through the IMS Barter exchange. When Chuck and his team dug into the cooling problem, they found that a part of the cooling system needed to be replaced. However, since the part needed to be ordered, Ditter’s team repaired the problem for the time being for an immediate fix. Eventually, the part will still need to be replaced, which will turn into $9K worth of business that Ditter wouldn’t have seen without the IMS Barter network and me connecting the two business owners.
